I'm quite certain I'm not the only one who wishes there'd been a job description that involved reading fiction and being paid a six figure salary when they became an adult. Who's with me?

Well. It's Friday. Again. And I spent most of the week confused as to what day it was. What moron puts a holiday in the middle of the week? I suppose it was well worth celebrating really. If you didn't get over to Reading Between the Wines Book Club to read author Laura Kaye's wonderful discussion of America's birthday please do. We're not a perfect nation but I cannot help but feel a sense of patriotic pride when reminded of how big a deal declaring independence from England was. So now we celebrate it by getting intoxicated and playing with explosives. :P

I did get the deliciousness that was WEST OF WANT finished this week though. Yay! My review will hopefully pop up in the next couple of days so I'm holding my tongue. *huuu-uhh-muh-heh*

This weekend I'm actually likely to spend more time digging in the back yard and sulking than reading. I got a copy of The Unofficial Game of Thrones Cookbook: From Direwolf Ale to Auroch Stew - More Than 150 Recipes from Westeros and Beyond that I've been slavering over for a couple of days. But guys... there is a recipe for stir-fried locusts (or grasshoppers) in there. OMG! I now, know how to prepare and serve bugs. *giggle* The hubs asked 'are you reading a cookbook?' to which I pointed out you really can with these kinds of cookbooks. I'm going to have to get the Official one now. Because I am a nerd and I love these kind of pop culture tie-in cookbooks. Yes, I really have a Star Wars cookbook. No, you can't borrow it.

In real reading I'm pecking away at Katee Robert's Queen of Swords
which is giving me grief. It has all of these elements of Scifi fiction/romance I love but I H-A-T-E both the hero and heroine. They're annoying personality wise. I want to toss the book across the room because they have one of those I-hate-you-so-bad-why-do-I-wanna-jump-you-every-5-seconds relationships so far... and I'm pushing 100 pages. Never a good sign. I'm still also struggling through A Blood Seduction: A Vamp City Novel which has a neat set-up and world but is exhaustingly slow paced.

The good news is... starting Sunday you'll have the chance to win an ereader! You saw the details earlier this week. Now you'll have a chance. My post goes up on Tuesday—also, RELEASE DAY! Be on the lookout. The entry is super easy and the excerpts being shared are exclusive!

On that note I am off to get cleaned up for bed so I can hopefully enjoy a little quiet reading time before I doze off. Have a great weekend and don't forget to comment telling me what you're reading! -- Rhi
